Who qualifies
A prescription is required for every GLP-1 sold in the US. A prescriber writes it for an approved use on the label:
- Diet and activity can help adults with obesity, or who are overweight with a weight-related condition, lose weight and keep it off long term.
- Moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea in adults with obesity is what it treats.
The FDA label (DailyMed) is required

Scam signals
- A prescription is not needed: sellers who skip it cannot be licensed pharmacies in the US.
- A brand price well below the manufacturer's own: the lowest self-pay cost for the brand is $299 a month
- If a seller calls it the brand but compounds it, compounded versions have no FDA approval and are not Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or Zepbound.
- Telehealth companies said it was the same as the brand, so the FDA sent 30 warning letters about misleading claims.
- For compounded tirzepatide, the FDA has more than 730 adverse event reports.
- The FTC acted against one program for omitting the drug from its monthly price; see the NextMed review for details.
